    Good dvd and cd writer which came with a software disk for its drive. The speed of writing and reading is somewhat slow. Well, you get what you paid for. I am ok with this.

    Got this to download some CD based programs onto my new =laptop, which does not have a CD-ROM drive. Worked like a charm. Will also use it for playing CD movies on my laptop. Quite satisfied.

    This drive sometimes has issues when ripping music CD’s and needs to be plugged and unplugged to reset it on occasion. Works well most of the time however. It is cheaply built and won’t withstand a lot of abuse, so be careful with it.

    Worked great after installation used Installation disk, no problems just wanted to have for a new gaming computer without disk drive. Just treat it nicely because it is light weight

    This "tag-along" external, Dell USB DVD/CD Drive is quality in a small package. Just plug and play to see high quality movies, videos and music. Makes an wonderful addition to units without internal drives.

    Performance is as expected. Transferring data into disc, however, is kind of not clear

    love the slim design of this external DVD player. It works great and is quick loading. Dell product have been purchased by me and other family members for years. If you need an external DVD you will love the slim design and the job it does.

    I was worried that a USB-connected DVD player wouldn't work as well as an internal one, but this has worked great for ripping DVDs and CDs. No setup was required, just plug it in.

    Although this item seems to be a little outdated these days, it has come in handy for me! I am glad I got it because my new computer has no way of putting discs in anymore.

    Love this accessory as it is helping me rip all my CD's and afforded me the ability to watch some old DVD's when I did not have a TV and waiting until a new one could be installed.

    Not much to say about a USB drive like this. If you need it because you no longer have this kind of drive in your laptop or have done away with 5" drives in your PC, then it will do the trick.

    Exactly what I was looking for! These newer laptops no longer come with a CD/DVD drive and I like to be able to burn on to them, as well as view my pictures I have saved to them.
